| Summary: | This guide addresses lighting issues specific to museum and gallery buildings. One such consideration is that responsibility for lighting design may be spread among a diverse group, which can include lighting designers, curators, architects, engineers, conservators, facilities managers, maintenance staff and private collectors. Clarifying who is responsible for lighting is a necessary precursor to making design decisions. However, to avoid repetition, this publication has adopted the term 'lighting designer' to describe the individual or group with this responsibility. The presence of materials sensitive to light radiation introduces another range of challenges not normally encountered in general lighting practice and this guide aims also to provide assistance with the identification of these issues and their reconciliation in the design and management of buildings. The increased number of conservation categories adopted in this (revised) guide is intended to assist the lighting designer in selecting appropriate solutions for the wide range of materials that are light sensitive. |
